KING HARMON MATCHPLAY COMPETITION- The draw for this competition has now been made and for the first time in several years it is back to its traditional format of straight knockout one on one matches from start to finish. There are a few names in for a preliminary round to be completed by the 3rd of June - Jason Beirne vs Pat Conroy, Liam Whyte vs Killian Egan, Pat Brogan vs Padraic O'Connell, and Paul Connolly vs Owen Garvin.
INTERCLUBS - Well done to Michael Simon's Seniors team
who had a great win against Co Sligo Golf Club (Rosses Point) during the week.
Kevin O'Connor and Pat Conroy had a good win in Boyle. Michael McHale and Liam
Whyte suffered some bad luck in a narrow loss in Boyle, but there was a chunk
of light when we heard that Charlie O'Donnell had secured a tight half in their
match in the Point and later there was genuine delight when we heard that
Michael Simon and Martin Sweeney had secured a vital away win in Rosses Point,
thus securing the overall result for Boyle and progressing to round 2.
Hard luck to our Pierce Purcell team who lost to a strong
Strandhill team at the weekend.
Our next interclub matches will be the Senior's team in
round 2 of the Fred Perry Cup and our Mixed Foursomes team in their first round
in mid June.
